Saturday 23rd September is the day when the sun is directly above the equator and the length of day and night is roughly equal. After this the nights become increasingly longer with cooler temperatures as the Northern Hemisphere begins to tilt away from the sun.
In astronomical terms this marks the start of autumn which lasts untill the winter solstice. The most stunning sign of autumn is the leaves turning into vibrant ambers, reds and yellows.
Look out for the Harvest Moon on the 29th September, which is the name given to the first full moon nearest to the autumnal equinox.
Time to get your boots on and head out for an autumnal walk!
